Yeah, but would they do it at 1000+ yards?

Sort of like "if pigs had wings they could fly".

I guess there's a reason more development goes into accurate bullets than super duper hollow points designed to do terminal damage. The 50 BMG seems to have a certain guaranteed damage level covered as long as you can make the hit.

How come nobody is necking a 50 BMG down to .38 caliber? Ultimate wildcat or what? Flat shooting to 1000 yards.
